What say you?
Perhaps the GOP needs to be tossed aside, and the Tea Party take the lead.
Just saying...
Time we all on here got calls to McCain, Ayotte and the other big mouths.
I’ve already called them and left them with a piece of my mind and hope all others on here do the same instead of just venting on here
It is one thing for individuals to walk up to elected Republicans and tell them how they feel, call them a RINO, etc -— but elected individuals (like MCcain, etc) publicly bashing conservatives/Tea Party people is something else.
Why can’t Ayotte just get a room for a threesome with Dingy and Juan?
Ayotte’s a big problem. She’s not up until 2016. If there’s a strong ‘Rat Pres candidate Ayotte will be swept out. If there’s a strong GOP pres candidate she will be coattailed back in - unless a relentless primary effort is pressed against her starting now.
Recommendation For true Conservatives: Primary everyone and if you lose the primary run in the general election to split the vote; it’s democracy. Having 46 Senator when 43 or them are no different than the Democrats isn’t a victory for the Republic. Its just petty politics as usual.
Making calls to a bad politician is fine, but can feel ineffective. I don’t call the wacko bird leftist politicians in my state because I don’t have time to do something they ignore.
However, if you want to have an effect, get in touch with the people and organizations that donate to that politician. Then you can have an effect on politicians even if they completely ignore you. Locate the funding sources and communicate with them. Not angry rants — concise messages indicating why a shift in donations to a more sane politician will work better for everyone. Point out how damaging the politician has been to them and point out how a little favor from the politician does not make up for the damage they do to both the funding organization and the general citizenry on whom the funding organization depends for its livelihood.
Get to the sources of funding and you are going to where you can have the most effect.
I say we take a page from the lefties, and start bashing McCain’s and McConnell’s biggest campaign donors.
Time for a RINO hunt!
Conservatives need long memories. But more importantly, we need to act on our convictions.
For example, people who would not support Mitt Romney because he represented the surrender wing of the Republican Party were attacked without mercy on this website in 2012. Now, the bandwagon isn’t big enough to hold everyone who says they’re jumping ship.
Now that the Boehner/McConnell/Romney wing of the Republican Party has once again capitulated to the Democrats, more and more base conservatives are rebelling against the GOP-E. These people need to be encouraged, so that constitutional conservatives can be nominated and elected from the ground up.
That starts here, on this conservative grass-roots website. No more talk of reform. We’ve been told to go to hell once again and we need to quit saying ‘thank you sir, may I have another’.
What you said!!!!!!!!!!
Dammit Jim, I’m a physicist, not a parliamentarian. It is possible, as some have claimed, that Sen. Cruz made some sort of tactical mistake. But if so, it should have been handled privately. I have had it up to my keister with Republicans grandstanding by attacking their own.
My mother once warned me about ppl who cry w/o tears.
Listen to Kelly Ayotte speak on any topic, she slips into weep-speak mid sentence. Never seen one tear.
THAT'S RIGHT RINOs....NEVER AGAIN WILL I VOTE FOR ‘RAT LITE!
“Moderates” are lying manipulative bottom feeding scum. They will happily throw a race to the democrats just to turn around and say “See, I told you so”.
The GOP has been moderated into a coma and these Kapo Republican’ts are pinching the feeding tube of the patient as their Democrat masters happily goose step their way to full on fascism.
I predict the pressure on Boehner to step down from his House leadership position may cause him to resign. However, the pressure in Wash DC will be to replace him with someone who can squash the Tea Party voices. I imagine P King is dreaming about this right now. Unfortunately, that ensures the House (1) has no strategy for growing the party and winning elections and (2) further alienates the base voters. It would be taking a modest defeat and turning it into a rout. The key here is the lack of a strategy.
The R party is convinced that demographics are the same as political influence—that has appeared to be true in the past three decades but I contend that it is a misleading relationship as is the urban/rural distinction. There is a more fundamental factor that must be the focus of new political strategy. The Dem party has identified it as greed and uses its impressive propaganda machine to legitimize greed by demonizing members of opposing groups. This is especially easy to do to the Tea Party because it holds no seats and has no official status. The Dems have also done it to the R party because the R party has no propaganda system. What little media they have is a skeptical talk radio system.
Prior to the 1970s, that demographic relationship with left/right voting did not exist in the same way it does now. The more important variables include prosperity, social affiliation, sense of personal intelligence, and possibly others. Voting is an individual act as is donating. If voters believe they and the people they care about prosper more under your leadership, are on the winning team and have more social support if they support you, and are the more intelligent voter because they support you, then you have a powerful advantage in politics.
The R party strategy at this time is to shrink their voter numbers for national elections and pit state leaders against other state leaders. That is unmanageable and works, at best, at the state and lower levels. It is not viable in national elections.
I analyze and design strategies as a good part of my work. There is much more to this but I offer these ideas for scrutiny and improvement.
In fact we conservatives have been "team playered" ourselves nearly out of existence. Time to get up on our hind legs.
Ayotte turned out to be a steaming turd. She road the conservative base to office, and not only is voting with the opposition but publicly bashing the very people people that got her there. Pathetic.
Peter King is close to being as big a prick as MeCain!
Personally I believe it’s time to fight fire with fire.
TEA Party Senators need to concentrate their fire against McCain and completely destroy him as having been broken by the communist and he’s now an al Qaeda collaborator.
TEA Party Representatives need to do the same thing with Pete King. Concentrate on his supporting the IRA terrorist and now al Qaeda.
Do exactly what the left does.
Go into a compete feeding frenzy against these 2 and the other left wing collaborators will start getting the message.
